About the book

This book tells the extraordinary story of the Tigray People's Liberation Front revolution, from its beginning in February 1975 by a handful of students, its expansion into the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front coalition, and their victory in May 1991 over the Soviet-backed military dictatorship of Mengistu Haile-Mariam. Based on first hand accounts of the war, Jenny Hammond provides the reader with a unique insight into the origin and evolution of the movement and describes the social and political transformations brought about by the war
